What two numbers multiply to 24 and add up to 11?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 24 and add up to 11?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 8

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 8 multiply to 24 and add up to 11:

3 × 8 = 24
3 + 8 = 11

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 11x + 24 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x + 3 ) (x + 8)

To summarize, since 3 and 8 multiply to 24 and add up 11, you know that the following is true:

x² + 11x + 24 = (x + 3 ) (x + 8)
